Hope you enjoy today's video! Something a little bit different that I think is really important to talk about for Minecraft players! Did you find this helpful? Or anything else you do to stay motivated?

[Kleph.]

Takeaways list:
1) Play in a way that makes you feel happy with what you've done--singleplayer vs multiplayer, hardcore vs peaceful, creative vs survival, keepInv on or not, it's all up to you.
2) Play slower; stop to enjoy things and don't let "progress" be the metric for having fun!
3) Start small and upgrade farms/builds.
4) World maps and dense building regions help you be aware of your own achievements and feel attached to them. This may require terraforming, but that's okay! You don't need to explore for the perfect biome, MAKE it.
5) Set larger goals that give you something to build toward, and break down the smaller things that will build towards it. (Each step becomes meaningful to your ultimate vision)
6) Use datapacks or mods if they reduce unpleasant grind or add aesthetics you enjoy. No right or wrong here.
7) Let your buildings tell a story and use imagination!
8) Do the mindless grind when you need relaxing and recharging, so that you're not bored by it.
9) Taking breaks from Minecraft make the game itself more enjoyable.

Here's my own advice:
a) If you have a vision but you don't know how to execute it, just do it badly. It is okay to tear down buildings because you have something better. It can hurt to "throw away" work BUT you haven't ever wasted your time because you learned something from it and that build still exists in your mind. This is also applicable to other projects, like writing or exercising.
b) Do something intentionally ridiculous. Build pointless farms or builds and enjoy the silliness. Especially if you notice MC being less fun as you get older, it's possible that you are taking things too seriously and ruining your own fun. But kids can play with *anything* because they have fewer expectations for themselves. So remember just to *play*!

GLHF and if you're wanting more advice leave a reply :)

My issue is that I'm just so uncreative, I simply don't have the brain to create ANYTHING like this world. 😢

[simoncruz]

I usually play alone so I find myself just narrating world tours and explaining my world to no one sometimes and it’s a nice way to remember everything you’ve done

My daughter got me into minecraft during early covid. As a almost 50yr old I thought it was a kids game, but it was something to do with my daughter. She's since abandoned minecraft but I'm still going strong. Imo it's the best game ever made. I'm a terrible builder but I love redstone. There's something for everyone in this game. I may walk away from it for a while here and there, but I always come back to it.

Loved your goblin(?) base

Create mod was sooo fun too!

I started a single player world a couple months ago and I’m still pretty engaged with it, but I was worried about what to do if I started to get bored. This really helps!!

[bloomsparks]

My goal for my single player world is to build a city or town in each biome. Slowly working away. Your world is very inspiring 💙

[kazmiz]

As an idea- you could make your nether portals reflect the places they connect to in the overworld.

I think a lot of people needed to hear this ❤️ When it comes to minecraft, I play mainly single player (mainly because I can only play bedrock right now), and I do get stumped a lot of the time - But taking long periods of time away from minecraft genuinely gets me excited to dive back in again. I’m an avid reader and the worlds I read about inspire me to build what I’ve just read 😊 I find it also helps, me personally, to move away from my own projects and build alongside creators I genuinely enjoy, not only does this keep me entertained, I learn from the creators and how they would build also 😊 Keep up the good work Fwhip 😁

[duckiequackers]

I definitely think adding a narrative to your world can help a lot with making it feel special. In my latest single player world ive been keeping a journal of events so the history of my world feels like a story, and also naming every cool echanted piece of gear like its a artifact in dwarf fortress to give them extra character

I follow the mantra “long term = long roads” spacing things apart and project hopping keeps things fresh

[Saythra]

Something I did to help ease the pain of not having the patience to build certain large farms, was to make a custom villager that would sell what I need/want.

Like I can't be asked to make an farm for prismarine. So I made a custom villager that sold all the blocks, in exchange for copper ingots. I have metric craploads of the stuff, not using it, and can turn it into something I use a lot.

[markschwegler]

Your last world tour vid inspired me to start my first long term world...personally I don't get board but I loose inspiration sometimes....then I just look to the Minecraft Gods...Fwip, Sausage, Gem, beans, Mumbo, Avo, Tango, Etho, pix...you and the others keep me entertained and inspired....can't wait to see how far you take it!!!

[EriTheFish]

Perfect timing, as I started my new world after deleting 5 worlds I spent 3 mins in because I got bored. I loaded up a random seed and immediately saw my vision - a swampy fishing spot that leads into a mountainous hobbit hole and a base at the harbour. The most important thing I did was to not rush, being in a situation where I was just building with stone tools and having a good time.
Edit: I started a new world like a week after I made this comment lol
Edit 2: I made another world after that like a week ago lol I need to watch this video again

[zombiepush]

The issue with the multi player world shrinking to a single player is totally valid. It's how I started playing the game after learning the minimum basics only to find out that the world really only had 2 active players. It really knocked the wind from sails as all my eagerness was about other player involvement. I am now looking forward to going single player mode and will take your advice on board so that I don't just sit there like a bump on a log!

[maodebo]

These tips apply to any creative project btw like drawing, break down big ideas into smaller simple tasks, don't rush, find enjoyment in the repetitive grind, try something new everyonce in a while etc

I cant play minecraft without an idea of what i want to do in that world

I personally started a project to build a walled city that extends both upwards and downwards making different layers of the city, with waterways, railroads etc But I didn't immediately start planning the city, making the walls etc that would have made me burnout before even starting, instead I've started with my house, then the road connecting my house to my mine, slowly I will build houses and farms alongside the road and then branching outwards, and when I find a problem or obstacle it's an opportunity, need wood? maybe I can make a treefamr and disguise it as a building. need smelting a lot of stuff? let's make a blacksmith house etc etc

[Romannnr]

Thank you so much! I’ve been not playing Minecraft for months now because I just get very bored very quickly! This helps a lot! ❤️❤️

[dansara]

Thank ou! that was very insightful! i honestly think one of the best things to do is taking a break whenever you find yourself struggling to find anything to do. you come back with so much inspiration and renewed passion for the game which always leads to better better and a lot more fun! Maybe another tip i'd say is watch other people and take inspiration from them

[thriftymama]

Different projects at the same time...its like reading different books at the same time, love it!

[Natebplaysmc]

I wanna see what fWhip could build with mods like chisel and CTM. Having a brick outside wall and a wooden inside wall is amazing stuff! I spent hours making a wire chicken cope out of bits.
